Abstract
The dental occlusion sets the intermaxillary relation during planning, construction of a prosthesis, and surgery for total replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and enables accurate placement of the prosthesis. However, in edentulous patients this no longer exists. We describe techniques to overcome the problems encountered in such patients having TMJ replacement using the patient-specific TMJ Concepts® system (Ventura, California, USA).
